120 Acres, All Woods, Mercer County Missouri!

[MoBuckChaser]

Can be bought for under $2,000/acre I think. It is going to be listed at $2,050/acre when it comes on the market in a week. Its thicker than hell. Dead end road access on the north side of property. No Income, but get a dozer in for one day and make a ten acre north to south food plot in the woods and it would be a killer piece! It has a couple of oak ridges, lots of cedars for bedding, plus a couple of nice creek bottoms. And located 8 miles south of the IA Border.

Dang, wish we had those prices around me! Looks like it could make a heck of a place!

Is that ag fields nearby or pasture?

Idle ground or pasture. Probably not tilled ground. That's why dozing in a 10 acre plot on this place would be killer!

If anyone around here is interested in MO land don't ignore this one. A friend of mine has a place in mercer and there's some big deer in that area.

Big blocks of brushy timber are hard to come by and their deer magnets unlike most of the rest of country ever sees. I already PM'd Mo, If it wasn't a hour and a half from my farm I'd own this place. I just know I wouldn't wake up and drive an hour and half away from good hunting to get to good hunting.

I have nothing vested in it by the way.

Oh and while the bulldozers there get access roads cleared around the perimeter.

I am walking it tomorrow, If its as good as I think, (and I think it is) I may try and own it by tuesday night!

Walked it today.

Saw at least 30 deer, with 4 being bucks one good one. Saw at least 50 scrapes. 30 rubs and some of most awful thick over grown hilly old pasture you ever seen. Very hard to hunt and recover a deer because of the deep creek bottoms. No way to get a road all the way around. I won't make a offer.

Welcome to MO. I have a low crossing bulldozed out every few years. Then the frigin spring rain washes it out again.
As you know we have some serious old errosion ditches all ove N. MO. But I have seen some places like you describe that are just way to deep to mess with.

Don't get me wrong, this can be a great property with some work. The drawbacks or cons are as follows: those deep gully's, and since the cattle have been gone 25 years, it has grown up with a lot of MFL. There is no real road to get to the property, you have to drive through a hay field. So that means no power and no rural water. They don't even know if it has a legal easement through that hay field to get there.

The Pro's are as follows: Price is not bad. It has lots of mature Burr, White and Red oaks for acorn production. It has a couple of great man made trails through the property already. It has a couple of great spots to put in a 6 acre plot and a 2 acre plot. It has lots of thick south facing slopes for bedding. Thick cover is everywhere. has not been hunted much that I can tell. Limited stands on neighboring properties that I could see. And the best fact about this property is, It Has deer and deer sign up the ass on it already without any work being done!

The easement issue is significant. I would never buy a property when that is still a question.

Just found out today the agent did some research and it is a old township road that has not been taken care of. So it does have a legal way into the property. But the best part is, rural water runs down that old road. So a guy would have water right on the edge of the property. All a guy would need is to bring in power.

I may rethink my stance on making a offer now.

If it was in northeast Texas, and 8 or 10 years from now, I would be all over it after that description and aerial.... but, I love rough and overgrown land. Reminds me of all the public I hunt.

I'm sure Mo already knows this and has possibly dealt with it before, but for those who are new to buying land, you better make damn sure that access road is written into the deed in perpetuity. Make sure a lawyer looks at it. Don't take any realtor or anyone else's word for it unless they specialize in real estate law. That is the same BS my dad was told when he bought his place by both the prior owner and the realtor. 25+ years later the county decided they want to put a permanent berm across our access road and we found out in short order that access via that road was never a part of our deed. 25+ years of using the same access, and NO, you are not "grandfathered in". Sold the place 3 years later due to it being a over a half mile walk through a county pine plantation just to get to the north half of our property.

You are so right Whip!

And in Missouri, there are a lot of properties for sale with access, but not legal access. Just because Billy Bob has let the former owner drive across his hay field for 20 years, don't mean you get too!

Always do your homework on this stuff! And Never ever trust a agent down here, or most of the attorneys. They are a bunch of crooks for the most part.

Sold!!!

You buy it up?!?!?!
